Antarctic Women's Expedition: Fly the Drake

10 Days Aurora Expeditions

About This Itinerary

Embark on an Antarctic adventure with like-minded women, sailing on our small-ship expedition vessel, the _Sylvia Earle_. This vessel pays tribute to Dr. Sylvia Earle, an ambassador to conservation on the planet. In addition, the decks highlight six pioneering women in conservation and their incredible achievements and causes. We are proud to launch this new voyage, designed by women, led by women, for women. Travelling to Antarctica will open the door to new experiences, perhaps new challenges, and with the Aurora-style of travel, new friendships too. Late summer is a great time to visit Antarctica, with active wildlife, melting ice, and generally good weather. Skuas, terns and a suite of petrels wheel against a backdrop of spectacular sunsets, as the days shorten, and winter gradually approaches.
